Born and raised in Hong Kong, I was very driven to excel in education. Success in higher education is the key to opportunities in such a competitive city.

This formal and informal tutoring experience enabled me to succeed later in my college years as a teaching assistant and a graduate assistant.

Most of my experience has been with adults as learners--coaching, supervising, teaching groups of staff and colleagues in the mental health field, and now--teaching CPA candidates on what they need to pass the CPA exams.

This is premised by my belief in the contingency theory, tempered in some ways that an open, honest and frank discussion in the class is a vital and productive way to educate.
